Around 500 of those job openings will be at the Arizona Mayo Clinic, with another 4,000 open slots for the whole Mayo Clinic enterprise. According to a report made to Becker’s, there are more positions open now than there were this time in 2019, so a surge in local resume and business card printing orders seems likely.
Positions are open for clinical technicians, administrative operators, and environmental services, although the position with the highest demand is for nurses. A representative from Mayo Clinic’s human resources said:
“Physician hires came from a broad range of medical, surgical and other specialties that fit with our short and long-term growth plans. While hiring slowed for several months after the start of the pandemic, hiring for nonphysician positions in back.”
Mayo Clinic stated that its policy on hiring physicians was on a per diem and supplemental basis. This is to allow them to operate in the special fields where they could do the most good. Some special fields requiring a high number of physicians include hospital internal medicine and emergency medicine.
Part of the demand for new hires is coming from the Mayo Clinic’s multimillion-dollar plans to expand its operations in Phoenix. Banner will also be looking to fill positions in Nebraska, Colorado, California, Wyoming, and Arizona. The role that are proving challenging to fill include entry-level ones in patient financial services, environmental services, and medical assistance.
